Bug Description
invirt-
We could either treat this as site-local configuration that should be handled in an XVM-specific way, or we could argue that the information is required by Invirt, so Invirt should generate the /etc/hosts file from additional config fields.
I'm not sure at which level this should be handled, so I'm attaching the bug to both projects.

I don't think $hostname-internal should be required/assumed by Invirt;
it's just a convention that happens to make sense for us as we're
running on a backend network. Probably the right answer is to add a
field to each host in the config file saying how clustering should
address it, and default to the normal hostname.
